The R Game

They love to distract us out of anger and spite--

Those members of Congress on the far right.

Sometimes one wonders: Have they no shame?

For they keep on playing the Republican game.

 

The House keeps on passing bill after bill.

Then Moscow Mitch goes in for the kill.

Nothing gets passed, and the Senate's to blame.

For they keep on playing the Republican game.

 

They keep on saying how much they care

About their kids' future and how they will fare.

If they're so caring, then why do they claim:

No global warming? A Republican game.

 

They give huge tax breaks to those at the top

And don't care that others suffer nonstop

With high costs of drugs and health care that's lame.

That must be part of the Republican game.

 

They say they value justice and rules.

Yet they don't mind if they're played for fools

By giving support to a leader whose name

Will haunt us forever. The Republican game.

 

That they trust in Party over people is clear.

It's NOT hard to see beneath their veneer.

Do you ever wonder when they became

So fully enmeshed in the Republican game?

 

Republicans out there, your GOP

Members of Congress screw you and me.

They're more controlled by their lobbyists' aim:

To profit by playing the Republican game.
